about

My name is Doug. Training to be a particle physicist helped me realize that I wanted to engineer software for a living. My first post-academia position was with Anaconda. I worked as an open source software engineer (in the PyData universe, primarily around the Dask and awkward array ecosystems). I currently work for Visa. I'm an ML engineer on a team that is building a platform for real-time, low latency inferencing. The content on this website includes only my views and no one else's. My posts are mostly about software, data, or technical things I've encountered over the years. Some of the software I write is on GitHub (my username is douglasdavis). I live in Austin, Texas, with my wife, Kristie, and our two amazing kids. You can reach me by email: ddavis@[this-site-domain].
